I am delighted that New Testament Studies 63 (2017) 604-625 is publishing my study, “Vaticanus Distigme-obelos Symbols Marking Added Text, Including 1 Corinthians 14.34-5″ with twelve colour photographs, downloadable free in September 2017 from https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/new-testament-studies/open-access. Downloads are free since Christians for Biblical Equality paid to make it an Open Access article permitting unrestricted re-use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Attached is a supplement to that article giving the chi-square standard probability test data confirming that the eight bars with characteristic features in Vaticanus are not simply paragraph marks, but obeloi marking blocks of added text. Six groundbreaking discoveries in this study are summarized at cbe.today/Vaticanus.
